In the first article, "The Historical Matrix of American Higher Education," Roger L. Geiger provides an overview of the history of American higher education. Following it, E. D. Duryea, Jurgen Herbst, and W. Bruce Leslie comment on his hypothesis which identifies eight "generations" in higher education from 1637 to World War II. The next paper is by Geraldine Joncich Clifford and is titled "No Shade in the Golden State: School and University in Nineteenth-Century California." It analyzes the complex relationship between the University of California and its environment, including demographic, economic, and political forces. In "Conflict and Community in Soviet Institutes of Higher Education, .1921-1928," Peter Konecny examines the relationship between the communist party, state educational apparatus, and local leaders of higher education in Leningrad during the years of the New Economic Policy. Next, Jurgen Herbst in "Translatio Studii: The Transfer of Learning from the Old World to the New" looks at the history of higher education in North America, prior to the American Revolution. Carol Everly Floyd, in "Centralization and Decentralization of State Decision Making for Public Universities, Illinois 1960-1990," considers the forces that dictated the complex "balance of power" and "system of systems" approaches to the governance of public higher education in Illinois. The last article, "The Not-So-Old-Time College" by Roger L. Williams, is a review essay discussing two books--"Wesleyan University, 1831-1910" by David Potts and "Gentlemen and Scholars" by W. Bruce Leslie. (Individual papers contain references.) (DB) MNmm,r OM.

WECHSLER University of Rochester THIS VOLUME MARKS A MAJOR TURNING POINT in the history of this journal. Beginning with the next issue, Roger Geiger and Roger Williams, both of The Pennsyl- vania State University, become theAnnual's editors. Alan Karp and I relinquish our duties grateful to our editorial board for unwavering support, to our colleagues who submitted their work for publication consideration and who responded thoughtfully to our requests for evaluation of submitted articles, and to a loyal readership that followed the peripatetic Annual on its sojourns around western New York and the Midwest. The Annual, has justified the faith of its board, authors, and readership by adhering scrupulously to criteria of excellence in publishing significant articles. Roger Geiger and Roger Williams will further strengthen the journal by providing a more permanent home and by bringing their wisdom and erudition to the editorship. The current issue uses the occasion of this transition to present a forum on the state of our field. Incoming editor Roger Geiger has contributed an overview of the history of American higher education, and three members of the editorial board comment on his generational hypothesis. This issue also includes another synthetic statement Jurgen Herbst's essay on the history of higher education in North America, prior to the American Revolution. Two articles in this year's Annual discuss the relationship of the states to the development of American higher education. Geraldine Clifford analyzes the complex relationship between the University of California and its environment, including demographic, economic, and political forces. Carol Floyd looks at the forces that dictated the complex "balance of power" and "system of systems" approaches to the governance of public higher education in Illinois. Center and periphery is also the theme of Peter Konecny's essay. Based on documents in recently opened communist party archives in Leningrad, the article carefully examines the relationships between the communist party, state educational apparatus, and local leaders of
